Funny you ask. I rebuilt my home computer last week (after about 5 years) and I'm rebuilding my work computer right now. My work computer lasts for less than a year always... but I'm an IT person and always installing & testing random things. My home computer fares much better. But I did spend about 10 hours on it last week.

We've had an interesting year for computers. We decided to buy me my own laptop, get me off of the older "family" computer and let the kids use that - and store our music and photos on it. Six months later, it's dead and we had to replace it anyway. Ugh. My husband is pretty techy, so he gets itchy after three years.

Good question. You would think a computer could last longer than 4 years, they are expensive! But it does seem that we have replaced at least one computer at least every 4-5 years. Bummer! It doesn't seem fair!
